The strongest winds are expected on Wednesday and could bring additional delays and postponements to outdoor events.

"Ski jumping on the large hill may have to be postponed. Other alpine events could see significant impacts," said Douty.

Despite the challenging conditions caused by gusty winds on Sunday, Redmond Gerard became the youngest male athlete to medal at the Winter Olympics since 1928 when he claimed gold in snowboard slopestyle.

Other competitors were not so lucky as ski officials postponed the men's downhill competition due to high winds which made the high-speed slope too dangerous for competition on Sunday.

Continued strong winds that are forecast through Wednesday have pushed the event back to Thursday. This postponement has shifted the men’s super-G event from Thursday to Friday.

The women's giant slalom was postponed Monday because of strong winds and will now take place Thursday.

The women's slopestyle snowboarding qualifying event was forced to be canceled due to the gusty winds, advancing all 27 participants to the finals which took place in brutal conditions on Monday.

"High pressure building across the region will bring a lighter wind on Thursday. Winds may pick up once again on Friday and Saturday," said Douty.
